Xft (2.0) provides a client-side font API for X applications. It uses
|
||
|
|
Fontconfig to select fonts and the X protocol for rendering them. When
|
||
|
|
available, Xft uses the Render extension to accelerate text drawing.
|
||
|
|
When Render is not available, Xft uses the core protocol to draw
|
||
|
|
client-side glyphs. This provides completely compatible support of
|
||
|
|
client-side fonts for all X servers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Xft (2.0) hides most of the underlying system details so that developers
|
||
|
|
can confidently use its API to access client-side fonts in any X
|
||
|
|
environment.
